    Finding instantaneous rate of change.

    Ok so after I fix the silly mistake, this is how far I get. iroc= \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{(\frac{-20.4h-40.8}{h^2 + 4h +40} + 6.5) - 5.48}{h} iroc= \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{(\frac{-1.02^2 - 24.48h-81.6}{h^2 + 4h +40})}{h} I'm not sure what I should do next.

    Finding instantaneous rate of change.

    Homework Statement After you eat something that contains sugar, the pH level in our mouth changes. This can be modeled by the function L(m)=(\frac{-20.4m}{m^2 + 36}) + 6.5 where L is the pH level and m is the number of minutes that have elapsed since eating. Find the instantaneous rate of...

    Difference in computer science and software engineering

    So it's my last year in high school and I enjoy programming but I don't know if I should apply to either computer science or software engineering. What really is the difference between the two majors?

    [Logarithms]Kepler's third law of planetary motion

    Homework Statement Kepler's third law of planetary motion relates P, the period of a planet's orbit, to R, the planet's mean distance from the sun, through the equation log P = \frac{1}{2} (log K + 3log R), where K is a constant. Rewrite the formula as a single logarithm. Homework...
